I'm right there with you!!! Honestly, it's a daily struggle for me. My worst time is definitely at night, after dinner when i'm either hanging out or trying to get stuff done. I'm usually around the house for the evening, which means the sugar.... it calls to me!! I've found a few things that worked for me: 1) Don't keep…

Well, I can tell you that you've come to the right place! MFP is full of motivated people who really want to help each other succeed. Good luck!

Well congratulations on taking the first step! I think you'll find MFP to be a place of support and help along the way! GOOD LUCK! :wink:
